The DOJ is once again trying to consolidate approximately two dozen False Claims Act suits pending against Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corp., in what appears to be an effort to hasten a settlement. "Our goal is to streamline the process by providing a single judicial forum in which to resolve multiple cases and sort out problems posed by overlapping claims made by whistleblowers," says a DOJ spokeswoman. Columbia is the target of what some say is the largest health care fraud investigation in U.S. history.

The Department of Justice is once again trying to consolidate the approximately two dozen False Claims Act suits pending against Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corp., in what appears to be an effort to hasten the settlement of the litigation.
Arguments are scheduled for Nov. 19 in federal court in Miami before seven judges assigned to the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. An earlier DOJ motion to consolidate the cases was denied on procedural grounds.
